—Care.com, a Waltham, MA-based operator of Web search services for finding babysitters and other personal service providers, has reportedly filed secret paperwork for an IPO. The Wall Street Journal has that report, citing anonymous sources, part of the new routine for IPOs under secret filing provisions of the Jobs Act. Care.com has raised some $110 million of private financing in its lifetime, including a $50 million Series E round last year.

—Rest Devices, a Boston startup that makes wearable technology for babies, has raised about $1.2 million in equity investments. The company says the money will help pay for development of its product called the Mimo, which is a baby onesie embedded with sensors and a transmitter that can beam information about the baby’s sleep, temperature, and other factors to a parent’s smartphone. Rest Devices had previously tried to raise $200,000 for the Mimo in a crowdfunding campaign, but didn’t meet its goal.
